Step 1 Describe the task

A childlike detective mini-story: yellow M&M with magnifying glass races through quick clues, each revealing another M&M character until the gang unites.

This is the M&M's Detective. I wish to create a detective story where, through solving mysteries, one discovers more colourful M&M's companions. It should possess a childlike innocence and humour, with a fast-paced narrative and emotional progression, possessing the potential to become a viral short video.

Step 2 Understanding Context

Upload character reference art for each M&M color and any props (magnifying glass, notepad). Share desired backdrop—candy lab, city alley, or classroom—and how snappy the cuts should be.

Reference images keep brand shapes and facial expressions consistent while we amp the humor.

Step 4 Optimization & Follow-Up Prompts

Keep it zippy: After draft, tighten transitions, add whoosh SFX on clue swaps, or brighten the final lineup for maximum shareability.

Prompt 1: Speed up the clues

"Cut each clue to 2 seconds with punchier whooshes and on-screen arrows; keep the detective centered."

Use when pacing feels slow.

Prompt 2: Boost color pop

"Increase saturation and add rim light to each M&M; keep backgrounds slightly neutral so candies stay dominant."

Use when the candy blends into the set.

Step 5 Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting

Brand shapes Preserve the classic M&M proportions and limbs to stay on-model.

Humor balance Keep jokes visual, little to no dialogue for global reach.

Clue clarity Use bold graphic overlays to make each discovery obvious in under a second.

End card Leave room for logo and CTA away from platform UI.
